Should the heading be "List of Japanese POW camps", as some of their camps are in what is now China or Indonesia

Civilian internees[edit]

As many of these camps held civilian internees as well, should the title be changed to the (admittedly cumbersome) 'List of Japanese POW and civilian internee camps during World War II'? The Wikipedia page on POW camps is quite clear that civilians are not included in the definition of POWs. Or should we start another list page: 'List of Japanese civilian internee camps during World War II'? This will mean a lot of repetition and possible confusion though Jasper33 18:49, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be better to go with the title of the main article, which is internment. That article makes mention of "internment camps" and "concentration camps". It is true that not all of the camps in this article were POW camps, many camps contained civilians. I think it would be better to go with the more general title List of Japanese internment camps during World War II. A ecis^Brievenbus 00:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Article moved to List of Japanese-run internment camps during World War II. Neil ☎ 12:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

List of Japanese POW camps during World War II → List of Japanese internment camps during World War II — I request that this article be moved to List of Japanese internment camps during World War II. As is indicated in the lead section of the article, this list doesn't just cover POW camps, but also civilian camps and mixed POW-civilian camps. For this reason, the title of the list doesn't cover the content of the list. The proposed title does cover the content.

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Revised comment in the light of discussion below: Oppose List of Japanese internment camps during World War II as is ambiguous as to whether the Japanese were interned in or running the camps; Support less-ambiguous List of Japanese-run internment camps during World War II for the reasons Aecis and I have set out above. 'Internment camps' covers everyone held in these places; 'POW camps' does not. Jasper33 (talk) 19:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Current title is simply inaccurate, and this is the obvious way to fix it. Andrewa (talk) 11:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Is there any way to rephrase this so that it's clear that the holder of the camp was Japan, as opposed to its occupants? When first seeing this title, I thought it referred to something completely different, which doesn't even reference this page, and it seems like the move would make things even more ambiguous. Dekimasu よ! 12:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dekimasu for pointing out the ambiguity - it hadn't really occurred to me. How about this page becomes something like List of Japanese-run internment camps during World War II? I would also suggest that Japanese internment camps is re-titled, as it is also very ambiguous - perhaps to something like North American internment camps for Japanese people during World War II. But of course we'll have to have that discussion on the relevant talk page Jasper33 20:16, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right now Japanese internment camps is a disambig page, and as a disambig page, I think its name is fine, it just needs to add this article as an item for it to be disambiguated. As for the naming of this article itself, I don't think we need "World War II" in the title - did Japan run any internment camps during any other wars? Or at least did so notably? I suggest the new article name be List of POW and internment camps of Japan or List of POW and internment camps ran by Japan. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 21:12, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support List of Japanese-run internment camps during World War II - correct and unambiguous. Oppose current name change - ambiguous (I thought it was referring to US based camps for Japanese and Japanese-Americans until I read this page). The Evil Spartan 06:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed the dab, using the title suggested by The Evil Spartan, which I support. Dekimasu よ! 07:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese Internment camps in British Columbia, Canada during World War ll[edit]

There seems to be no information available regarding the internment of the Canadian Japanese by the Canadian Government during World War II. The Canadian Japanese were taken from their homes, had all their belongings and properties seized and were interned in sub-standard camps for the duration of the war. David Suzuki was one of the children raised in an internment camp. Is there no available information regarding the Japanese internment camps in British Columbia, Canada? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.48.113.177 (talk) 19:12, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Camps in Japan: many Wikilinks are not to articles on camps[edit]

The Fukuoka 17 article is a good one, but the three other wikilinks I’ve clicked on are not to articles on the camps themselves but to towns (and in one case a person). The result is that if someone finds this article and wants to click through to an article on a POW camp in Japan, the chances are that they won’t be able to. They’ll waste their time and be fed up about that. That’s not good and is not a good look for Wikipedia. I recommend that all wikilinks to non-camp articles be removed. Anyone disagree?
